A long lasting storm has passed Denmark and the surrounding countries a few days ago. A lot of damage, including damage caused by storm surge at many places, are seen. Many high-water records are noticed. Roskilde Fjord peaked 2,06 meter over normal. My photos was taken at 10 AM friday, but later it was a lot worse.

The Viking Ship Museum to the left was under pressure from the water and precautions was taken. At the museum homepage there are several photos and a short video, see Viking Ship Museum. Later the museum was surrounded by water.

Sometimes we take a walk called “Around Snoldelev” Thats a walk of a little more than an hour and 7700 steps. To day – for the first time – my wife and I went into the churchyard. It was a good experience, nice and quiet, sitting on a bench for a short time, we enjoyed the sun and the place.

If raw materials are removed from the landscape wounds are the result. If that landscape are rebuild, you have an recreational construction. Near Roskilde – and partly owned by Roskilde municipality – are Hedeland, a very large area of changed nature, giving room for many activities. A few days ago we were 5 persons walking in a little part of it for 2 hours – enjoying the winter. Here is the amphitheatre to the left. It is used for opera some evenings during the summer. You kan get an impression of Hedeland here, by scrolling one page down. Notice the meters lowest at the page, giving an impression of the largeness of the area..

The comfortable Køge-chair is made by Allan Olsen. The chair is placed near Køge River and I like to take a look at this piece of art whenever I pass. A few days ago the wintersun did shine at the chair. Here you see the face and below the whole chair. What do you think?

Yesterday evening we got some snow here (and a lot more during the night). This is the lamppost just outside my house – shot using tele and flash. The lamppost isn’t upright – I think is has been hit by a car long time ago.

We had +temperature for at period, but now the winter has come back, we have –temperature again. The rear clouds are with snow, just a little. The stick is for the driver of the snowplow, so he can see where the road is. If there are a lot of snow. This photo is shot between Gadstrup and Ramsømagle.

Kate is one of the Artists of the Month participating in the combined exhibition at Roskilde Library at the moment. She was not present when yestersdays photo was shot. Here she is in front of one of her paintings. You can watch that painting below. More information at Kate Piil (in Danish). She tells about many activities and interests, but the most timeconsuming is her horses.
One of the artists are present at the exhibition in the opening hours and Kate was my successor yesterday. She kindly said yes to this mini-portrait.

Decision

I am living between Roskilde and Køge, at the southern border of Roskilde municipality. Some days I go to Roskilde, some others to Køge. I have decided to expand this blog also to show photos from Køge.
